When …]]> Maxtor BlackArmor that made its debut at the beginning of 2008 is a full disk encryption external drive. When the product series was handed over to Seagate, it receives massive software overhual, but shares the same chassis with FreeAgent Go, measuring just 5" x 3" x 0.5". The BlackArmor PS 110 USB 2.0 drive is now in black, lending a more professional image than its colorful sibling.

In addition to full-system & file-based backup via scheduled or manual backup method for PCs, Seagate includes a very interesting "Try and Decide" feature that allows you to download and install new software titles or open email attachments in a protected partition so you can roll back the changes. Say, if you are installing some freeware and encounter a virus or malware, it’s as easy as hitting "stop" and let Seagate software to revert to the last known condition after a restart. This alone is pretty unique, but it doesn’t seem like the BlackArmor PS 110 is hardware encrypted even though the software does 256-bit AES security. Performance isn’t too shabby, topping at 30MB/s read and 25MB/s write. Last but not least the BlackArmor is backed by a generous 5-year warranty.

The S2 is different from other portable drives in that it relies on on-board USB technology to reduce the length of the chassis, making it very compact (smaller than a typical passport, according to Samsung). We have to assume the engineers have taken out the SATA native interface and replaced it with USB. So this doesn’t look like you can gut the S2’s shell to remove the drive for other applications.

Available in 4 different colors (piano black, snow white, wine red, chocolate brown, sweet pink & ocean blue), the S2 is also anti-slippery with leatherette back cover. Other features include auto-backup, software data encryption & capacity gauge. It would appear Amazon has started carrying the S2 at around $109 for 500GB; $85 for 320GB; and as low as $65 for 250GB.
